Protest Action against Lukashenka’s Visit in New York 11:02, 15/09/2005
On September 14 activists of Belarusian dispora have held a protest timed to the visit of Alyaksandr Lukashenka to the UN session. The action started at the 5th Avenue by the New York public library. Representatives of the diaspora came to the UN headquarters carrying white-red-white flags. They were holding placards and slogans; “We want free, independent, democratic Belarus!”, “Stop Lukashenka’s dictatorship!”
The action was remarkable as the Belarusians had managed to occupy the best place for picketing. The protesters were stranding right by the passage fenced for the press and UN officers. Everybody entering the UN building passed by the white-red-white flags and heard slogans: “Belarus-Yes Lukashenka-No!”
The chairman of the Conservative Christian Party Belarusian Popular Front Zyanon Paznyak has taken part in the rally.
The Belarusian demonstration was not the only one in New York. Iranian, Cuban and a number of other communities are to organize demonstrations and pickets as well.
